Intriguing etching by an artist unknown to me, signed in pencil, numbered 3/50 entitled Skagway station (Alaska). The etching apparently depicts the waiting room of the historic small station. Beautiful geometry and shadows combined with illustrative elements. Origin JAS Gallery, Utrecht.
In 1896, gold was found in Bonanza Creek, near Dawson City in Yukon, Canada. When some miners arrived in Seattle with their gold in 1897, a gold rush broke out that led to a major gold rush. Thousands of prospectors made their way through Skagway to the Klondike region of Yukon.
